This compact sonar range finder by Maxbotix detects objects from 0 to 6.45 m (21.2 ft) with a resolution of 2.5 cm (1") for distances beyond 15 cm (6"). Unlike other sonar range finders, the LV-MaxSonar has virtually no dead zone: it can detect even small objects up to and touching the front sensor face!

This report explains testing procedures, calculations, and conclusions for Maxbotix’s reliability demonstration test and mean time between failure (MTBF) test. Testing demonstrated over 200,000 hours for a MTBF with a 90% confidence level.

Note: Certain elements in this datasheet only apply to newer revisions of the EZ1 that are marked on the back of the board with a brown dot. If your sensor does not have a brown dot on the back, these sections of the datasheet do not apply.
